How do I opt in or out of the OLI research study after my account is created?

Applies to: Students and Instructors

When you create your OLI account, you will read a letter explaining the research we conduct. You will then choose whether to participate or not participate in this research.

You can change this decision at anytime. To do so, follow these steps:

Step by step

  1. Log into your account
  2. On your My Courses homepage, locate the My Account section within the left-hand navigation.
    1. If you are currently participating in the research study, you will see a link titled Research Consent Form.
    2. If you are currently opted out of the research study, the link will appear as You have opted out of research studies.
  3. Click this link to view the original Research Consent Form
  4. Make the change to your original answer or do nothing and keep your current status.

Tips

  • Opting out of the research study will not affect your access to course materials in any way.
